| Washing the fruit and veggies from my 1st trip to the market |
After a fun and exhausting trip to the market where Nicki, my Tok Pisin language teacher was trying to teach me lots of useful phrases and learn which leaves could be eaten raw, everything needed a good washing, with just a little bleach to be sure.

| Testing my new, inherited, electric wok |
As there was fairly decent electricity for a couple of hours, I managed to test my new electric wok (Thanks Jenny & David W, previous Mt Hagen residents). I was even brave enough to just throw stuff in and see how it tasted. You might see a few similar posts over the next few weeks as I try and figure out how to cook for myself from scratch. You can buy some fast food type things from the supermarket, but there is little choice and a big price tag!
Stir Fry ingredients:
Broccoli leaves & flowers
Bok Choi
Carrots
Pine Nuts
Bacon
Oyster Sauce

| The results were altogether delicious, with strawberries & bananas for pud! |
It's amazing how such a large pile of greens cooks down to such a small amount. I will be sure to use a few more greens next time, which is generally the way to eat out here. The cost of just all these fruit & veggies (minus the bacon and other embellishments) is around £1!

| Enjoying my 1st dinner in my living room! |
And the adventure was well worth it. So I now have a massive pile of Broccoli leaves and flowers left, I might steam them and have them with roast cow-cow (The local name for sweet potato) and carrots...
